Lac Limoges Fishing Guide, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Limoges sits within Abitibi-Témiscamingue in Quebec. The ground round it is spruce and muskeg. Surface area is around 35 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. There is roughly 4.0 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. The closest town, Senneterre, is 59 km distant. The big place round here is Gatineau, 297 km distant. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Limoges

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Reported across Abitibi-Témiscamingue: northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Take Lac Limoges a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 16°C in July and bottom out at -18°C in January. This far north the hard season runs and runs. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on Lac Limoges.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Beaulieu at 2.1 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Limoges for certain.
